Oca

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr 4 mos
Schenectady, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Oca needs a family! One of the local shelters we pull from shared reports of Oca roaming a Greensboro neighborhood near a local college campus for several days. Neighbors said he was happy to accept treats from anyone who offered, but he’d quickly dart away if they tried to touch him. At just 7 months old, his limited experience made him shy around people - but time spent playing with other dogs has helped him blossom! He’s now running and playing when initially he wouldn’t. He’s being the silly puppy he couldn’t be on the streets…like playing with your shoelaces, tossing toys in the air and awing you when he wants attention or another treat! Oca is 51.0lbs., heartworm negative and up to date on his vaccines.

🚨 URGENT—BABY BRULEE NEEDS A HERO! 🚨 Brulee is only 3 months old and 13 pounds, yet this precious baby has already found herself homeless. She was discovered as a stray alongside her sister, Bonbon, with no safe place to call their own. Brulee is a sweet, dog-friendly little girl who deserves a safe place to grow, play, and finally learn what it means to be loved. She should be starting a lifetime of puppy adventures—not sitting in a shelter with her future at risk. Please don’t let this innocent baby be forgotten. Brulee urgently needs someone to save her life and give her the loving future she deserves. 💔🐾 PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136299152

Oakley PRECIOUS GIRL

German Shepherd Dog Labrador Retriever

Female, 2 yrs 3 mos
Schenectady, NY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This precious girl Oakley found herself at an overcrowded shelter in the south and urgently needs a family to take her in. She had apparently been hit by a car prior to being taken to the shelter and her front leg was broken. Our rescue took her to a vet to evaluate her leg and they indicated her leg bone was already healing so they recommended a cast for about 4 more weeks. Oakley is just over a year old, is very happy and adores people. She weighs approximately 50 lbs and is fully vaccinated. Oakley is able to walk around just fine and she can go on short walks until her cast is removed. We recommend a family that can be home alot with Oakley as she really likes being with her people and doesn't love being alone for long periods of time. If interested in this precious girl, please text Julie on 919 624 0059.

Story
🌟 Meet Tacha — Our Last‑Minute Miracle Girl 🌟 Tacha is a stunning 4.5‑year‑old German Shepherd who was saved from euthanasia literally at the final moment. At 74 lbs, fully vaccinated, spayed, and heartworm negative, she’s healthy, vibrant, and so ready for the next chapter of her life. 💛 Personality Tacha is pure joy wrapped in fur. She’s full of life, full of love, and full of that classic German Shepherd devotion. She adores kids and gets along beautifully with other dogs. Her heart is huge — she just needs someone to give it to. 🐾 Home Needs Right now, Tacha is living in a vet’s office with very little space to stretch her legs or play. She’s not settled, and she desperately needs a real home where she can finally exhale. A fenced yard would be a dream for her — a place to run, explore, and feel free again. Note: Tacha is not a fan of cats, so she’ll need a feline‑free home. 🏡 Tacha Deserves Her Happily Ever After This beautiful girl has already beaten the odds. Now she just needs someone to choose her. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will brighten your days, Tacha is waiting. 📞 Interested in adopting or fostering Tacha?

🚨💔 URGENT: WREN NEEDS A HERO NOW 💔🚨 Wren didn’t ask to end up in a shelter. Found as a stray, it’s obvious this beautiful girl once belonged to someone who loved her.

🚨 LAST CALL FOR LUKE 🚨 He knows his name… and he’s listening… but no one is coming. Luke is 7 years old—a loyal boy who once had a home, a person, a life. When officers picked him up directly from his property, it was clear… this boy has known love. And now he sits confused, watching the door, wondering why everything changed. Despite the noise and fear of the shelter, Luke is still gentle, still kind, still trying. His tail may be docked, but his heart is full. ✔️ Friendly ✔️ Knows his name ✔️ Has lived in a home ✔️ Best with older kids 🚫 No cats He’s not asking for much… just a quiet place, a familiar voice, and someone who won’t leave him behind again. Owner surrenders don’t get time. Luke is out of it. If no one steps up, his story ends here. 💔 Don’t let this be how it ends for him. Be his person. Be his second chance. PLEASE HELP THIS SWEET GENTLE BOY BEFORE ITS TO LATE! TEXT KAREN 4136298152
